Sub-optimal convergence of non-symmetric discontinuous Galerkin methods for odd polynomial approximations. (English) Zbl 1203.65255

Summary: We numerically verify that the non-symmetric interior penalty Galerkin method and the Oden-Babusǩa-Baumann method have sub-optimal convergence properties when measured in the \(L ^{2}\)-norm for odd polynomial approximations. We provide numerical examples that use piece-wise linear and cubic polynomials to approximate a second-order elliptic problem in one and two dimensions.
